Blast From The Past: Energit

Here's something very special: Energit's "Paprsek ranního slunce" (Ray of morning sunshine) from the 1970s. Energit were a jazz rock band that featured some of the best local musicians of the time. On this recording you can hear the magical guitar work of a young Mr Luboš Andršt. Enjoy, and play it loud!

Only that the "video" doesn't seem to be well researched: Apart from Andršt, it shows mostly the 1st Energit incarnation with Khunt, Padrůněk & Šedivý, plus the last reunion attempt with Kulhánek and a vocalist (I forgot who that was…).On this recording from 1975, however, Viklický playes Fender Rhodes, Vytrhlík is on bass, Ticháček on sax and Jenčík on the drums.
